Hi guys,
Just got a new 8 wt rod for a trip coming up. When I put the reel on the rod and tightened things up, I noticed that the reel still has some side to side wiggle - It seems the slot at the top of the handle is a bit wider than the reel connecting metal. Any solutions or familiarity with such an issue? Not exactly sure how to proceed so any advice would be much appreciated. I tried re-insering several times so I'm thinking this is a mismatch rather than a break in type issue? The reel is a Lamson Konic II 4 and the rod is a Greys GS. The Greys is definitely on the starter end of the spectrum but I've had no problems with my other Greys so hope that's not the issue. Also of note, there is only one locking nut with the rod. That kind of surprised me but is likely beside the point as to why I have the wiggling going on. Kind of annoying though, not sure why that's where Greys decided to save a bit of money.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Matt
